Megan died of breast cancer on 17th April 2000.

Ross died on 18th October 2000. The death certificate said Heart failure. Ross was married to Neva Ierace. They had two children, Rebecca Jade and James. 

Ross played guitar and worked for his parents in their muscials as well as in manageing the Australian Entertainment directory that David and Chin founded. After David died in 1984, Ross and Chin managed it until 1987 when they sold it. It is still going strong although now on line. Ross then went into partnership with Neva and another couple running ferries on Sydney Harbour. (The Proclaim and the 3 Rosman ferries) They sold their share to buy and run a number of bicycle shops "Cranks". Neva became a master with Sydney Harbour Ferries first with the cats that went up the Parramatta RIver and then up until now driving the Manly Ferry. Ross was studying for his engineering ticket to join her on the ferries and had just passed all the necessary tests when he died.
